Jackets are always the one thing I don’t buy a lot of. One, because they’re always the priciest pieces to buy, and two, I get sucked into buying everything else first. BUT Bench was having an amazing black friday sale this year so I had to pick up some new jackets for the freezing winter that’s already hit Vancouver. 

Bench always have great sales between seasons but their black friday weekend sale was crazy. They had everything on sale in-stores and online so it was madness trying to find sizes. Thankfully both the jackets that I wanted had my size left #blessed. Will definitely be sharing the other one with you guys soon as I’m going to be living in these the next few months.

I actually got two really similar jackets. Both are the long parka style. The main difference is that one is a thinner, wider fit (the one I’m wearing above) and the other is a thick black parka. I invested in the Oskar parka from Aritzia last year in a taupe colour which I still absolutely love. But I wanted some black jackets this year so that they’re a little more versatile and easier to wear. 

Gotta say I’m in love with them already. The quilting on the inside of the jacket is an awesome little detail that peeps out when you wear the jacket open, which I usually do. I also really enjoy the hidden waist cinching drawstring on the inside of the jacket. Especially with a jacket with a wider, chill fit like this one, I like that it helps show that I actually have a figure under all my bundling.

I’m excited for the cold weather now! It’s snowing in Vancouver today so it’s the perfect timing for these :3 

Who else is slightly obsessed with outerwear right now?

Until next time,
